How To Thank A Friend

(album: Texas Collectious - 2022)

How do you thank a friend
For their heartbreaking presence
For their undivided attention
When you're withering
You say I'm the water
Lapping up against a wall
I feel that so completely
Flowing churning deeply
Yet stuck after all
How do you thank a friend

With fires bright and fighting fair
Keep on talking cause you know they care
Lead me now to brighter times
I only loved you cause I loved you blind
I loved you blind

How to do what you intend
Now that your plans got broken
And soft words you weren't sure you'd say
Never get spoken
You show up at seven
When the summer sun's still up
I see your sadness clearly
Mad at your mystery
Yet stuck after all
How do you thank a friend

With iron sides and steely stares
Keep on walking you're a joke I swear
Lead me down the path to find
I only loved you cause I loved you blind
I loved you blind

He told me that I should forget it
It don't matter anyhow
Wow it's been awhile since I let it
Chew me up and spit me out
That fear's like fate like drown-me-out
Wield my weight like solemn sound

How do you thank a friend
